When you resume a paused project, do you wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just start again
from scratch? Are you frustrated by the politics? Worried about reassembling a burned-out
project team? To gain a valuable edge, read 52 Tips for Resuming Paused Projects.

You face a Skip to the Details:How To Ordercritical decision. Bookings are up,
costs are down. Business looks like it's improving, and prices of critical technologies have
fallen. That big project you cancelled in 2002 is still a good idea, and you still want to
do it. But should you start from scratch or is there a way to pick up where you left off?
Tough questions.

Here are just
a few of the issues:

How much would it cost to start from scratch? How much to resume?

How do we get the team back together now that they've scattered to the four winds?

What do we do about the political questions? How do we win over the people who got it
cancelled back in 2004?

As the manager of a resuming project, or as someone who'd like to
resume a cancelled or paused project, you face problems that differ markedly
from the more familiar problems of a startup project, or even a continuing project.
You must master the politics of resuming a project, of course, but that isn't enough.
Once you get underway you'll face problems that you'll never see in a startup or continuation.

For example,
if the project was formally cancelled, many of its assets, both human and not, have scattered. Putting
them back together again can be a costly endeavor, entailing risks that a startup project
or a continuing project never faces.

52 Tips for Resuming Paused Projects is a tips book packed with 52 ideas that
project managers and leaders of project-oriented organizations can use
right now to address the special problems of resuming paused projects.

Some sample tips

Here are some sample tips.

Check for retrospective liabilities

While the project was cancelled or paused, certain expenses, such as vacation and sick
time, leases and space charges, which would otherwise have been charged to the project,
might have been charged to other accounts. When the project resumes, those accrued charges
might suddenly appear in the new project's accounts. Gain commitments that this won't
happen, but watch for it anyway.

In an ongoing project, completed items tend to remain static, even when we later
discover better approaches. In a resuming project, we have a greater tendency to reconsider
and redesign things "while we're at it." Watch carefully for this tendency, and maintain
enough discipline to make only necessary changes.

Designed for busy people

Most of us have way too much to do to find much time to read. And the time we do have is broken up
into small chunks. We need the knowledge, but too often, we don't have time to get it, and we can't
wade through 15-page chapters that lay out lengthy discussions.

Knowledge products from Chaco Canyon Consulting are designed with busy people in mind.
Here are some features that make reading our e-books fast and convenient.

They're available on line

It's fun to go to a bookstore, but you have to find the time to go to the store, find what you
want, wait in line to pay for it, and get back from the store. For some of us, all that time is a
challenge.

With our knowledge products, you browse for your selection on line, and pay
for it quickly and easily through ClickBank. You can do it anywhere that has an Internet
connection.

Instant downloads

With some on-line stores, you have to wait for an email message with download instructions. The
wait can be brief, but sometimes it's a day or so.

With our knowledge products, receive download instructions instantly. After
you select an item, you can have it in your possession in minutes.

Universal data formats

To use some on-line knowledge products, even those you download, you need a computer or mobile device, or
worse—a computer with a specific operating system.

Our knowledge products are available in near-universal formats—either
hypertext (like this document you're reading right now), or Acrobat (PDF), or MP3. You can use them
with any computer or device that supports the format of that product (either hypertext, PDF or
MP3).

Written for busy people

Most business books are about 200-250 pages, with about 10 chapters. I don't know about you, but
I don't have time to read a 225-page book cover-to-cover. There are lots of folks like
us—that's why there's such a booming market in book condensations.

Our ebooks cut out that middle step. They're designed to be read by people
who don't have time for the typical business book. Our tip books consist of short paragraphs, two-
to four sentences per tip. Each tip has a headline in bold. You can easily scan the book for tips
that seem relevant to you and read only those. Read in any order, and read them in short
sittings.

We use hyperlinks

Most books, even e-books, are meant to be read off-line. Because they stand alone, they contain
material that you might not want to see.

Our ebooks assume that you have the Internet nearby. If you want background
material on a point we've made, just click. And some of our hyperlinks link to other places in the
e-book itself, to help you tie things together is you read.

Details and how to order

After your purchase is approved, ClickBank presents a page that contains a link to a page where you can download your item immediately. You can load it onto your computer or mobile device, or print it. Your satisfaction is guaranteed by ClickBank's return policy.
